The yacht, which had 12 people who tried to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza, was seized by the Israeli army and then towed with Ashdod.
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the boat was docked and those who were on boards, including Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, said, “We are undergoing medical examination to maintain health.”
The organizer said Madleen aims to bring the aid of “symbolic” to the Gaza to ignore the Israeli naval blockade. They said they were intercepted by the Israeli army in the international waters early Monday.
Israel said that it would dismiss it as “selfie yacht” and deport the passengers into their own country.
The aid based on Madleen includes rice and baby formula, and organizer The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) said.
Citizens in Brazil, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Türkiye are on this ship. Among them, Rima Hassan, a French member of the European Parliament, and OMAR FAIAD, a French journalist of Al Jazeera.
On Monday, French President Emmanuel Macron demanded a quick return of six French activists on board the ship and asked Israel to ensure the “protection” of the activists.
The Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs contacted the Israeli authorities in a statement shared with Reuters, and Turkey condemned the intercept of “terrible attacks” in international waters.
The FFC said it has not been in contact with 12 passengers since the ship was blocked by Israel at early Monday early Monday.
The boat sailed in Italy on June 1 to raise awareness of the hunger of the Gaza.
Israel says that the blockade of Gaza is needed to prevent weapons from reaching Hamas fighters.
The video shared by the FFC was raised by the Israeli army on board the boat and sitting on a life jacket. Those who boarded you can see throwing a cell phone out of the stomach.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs shared the video of soldiers who delivered sandwiches and water bottles to the activists after the intercept.
After reporting that the yacht was boarding, the FFC posted a short and pre -recorded video of some activists, including Thunberg.
In this video, they say, “If you look at this video, we’ve been kidnapped and kidnapped by this video.”
Israeli Israeli Secretary of State warned that on Sunday, Israel would oppose attempts to violate the blockade.
He wrote in the post about X: “I ordered IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) to act to prevent the ‘Madeleine’ (SIC) Flotilla from reaching the coast.
The FFC argued that the sea containment is illegal, and that Katz’s statement threatens illegal use of Israel and characterizes KATZ’s statement as an example of “attempt to justify violence with stains.”
FFC reporter Hay Shaya said on Sunday, “We will not be threatened. The world is watching.”
“Madleen is a private ship sailing from international waters to demilions, and transports humanitarian aid and human rights defender around the world … Israel has no right to hinder our efforts to reach Gaza.”
In 2010, the Israeli Commando killed 10 Turkish activists when boarding Turkish ship MAVI Marmara, which helped Gaza.
Israel began to allow a limited assistance to the Gaza after the recent three months of blocking the land, and prioritized the distribution through the Gaza Indian Foundation, which is supported by Israel and the United States but is widely accused of humanitarian groups.
Volker Türk, the United Nations Human Rights Director, said last week that the Palestinians are trying to approach poor foods that are the most terrible choice: hunger or death.
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in the early Monday’s position as follows. “Greta and others attempted to provide a media provocation, including the only purpose to help you get a single truck, but more than 1,200 original trucks have entered Israel’s Gaza in the last two weeks, and the Human Foundation has distributed it directly to 11 million restaurants.
“There is a way to help the Gaza Earth. It does not contain the Instagram selfie.”
It has been 20 months since Israel started the military campaign in Gaza in response to an unprecedented Hamas -led border attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, and about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were hosted.
According to the territory of Hamas Run Health, at least 54,880 people were killed in Gaza.
